In a medium skillet, heat the bacon fat, add the onion, celery, and mushrooms, and saute until soft. Add the cornbread, olives, sour cream, and melted butter. If necessary moisten with water slightly to make the stuffing hold together.

Stuff the cavity of the fish with the mixture and close securely. Arrange 4 lemon slices on each side of fish. Place trout in oiled fish basket. Place basket on grill and cook until done, 10 minutes per inch of thickness, including stuffing, or about 15 minutes per side. Or place the fish in 2 greased rectangular baking pans,
